A senior at Longwood College may take up to six hours of graduate credit beyond the undergraduate degree requirements. Such credit may be earned only in 500-level courses and, if it meets course requirements for the degree, may be counted toward a master’s degree.
The senior must have a “B” average in the major and must receive permission from the Director of Graduate Studies and the department chair. In any case where an undergraduate student is registered for a 500-level course that is to be applied to a graduate degree, the Director of Graduate
Studies must notify the Office of Registration designating whether the course is to be applied to the graduate career.
A student who holds a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution may apply for admission to graduate study.
Applications for graduate study are reviewed by the departmental graduate committee. The Director will notify
the applicants, in writing, of the committee’s action.
For further information regarding admission to the graduate program, contact the Director of Graduate Studies, Longwood College.
Specific requirements for admission are outlined in the Graduate Catalog.
